Sour Cream Tea Bread
Source of Recipe
www
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 eggs
8 ounces sour cream
2 teaspoons vanilla
Grease a 9~5 loaf pan and preheat the oven to 350F.
Sift together flour and other dry ingredients.
Beat butter in a bowl until smooth. Add sugar and beat again.
Add eggs one at a time, then add vanilla. Beat until fluffy.
Alternately add sour cream and flour, starting with sour cream, in two or three additions.
Pour into pan, smooth top and bake for 1 hour 5 minutes, or until tester comes out clean.
Notes: I added about 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract with the vanilla and added 1 cup of dried cranberries to the batter just before I put it into the pan. The original recipe suggests other variations, which basically involve adding a cup of fruit or nuts and a teaspoon or two of spices, if you wish. I would try it again with nonfat sour cream or yogurt, just to feel a tiny bit less guilty about loving it so much.
